Body-Worn Cameras and Associated Hardware and Software

The Department of Homeland Security’s Air and Marine Contracting Division is conducting a sources-sought request under solicitation number CBP-0003 to gather industry input on body-worn cameras, vehicle- and vessel-mounted cameras, digital evidence management software, cloud storage solutions, and related technologies to support operational needs across DHS components. This Request for Information, posted on May 8, 2026 and due by May 13, 2026, does not constitute a solicitation for award but aims to inform a future procurement by evaluating industry capabilities, technological maturity, and compliance with federal security standards. Vendors are required to respond with four distinct components submitted exclusively via email to idvrs@cbp.dhs.gov: a demographic and past performance document, responses to technical questions limited to one page per question with no font smaller than 10 point, feedback on the draft Statement of Work confined to a single page, and a compressed zip file containing supplementary materials—all in Microsoft Word or zip format, with no PDF or Excel files allowed. The scope encompasses systems must meet stringent physical and operational specifications, including body-worn cameras no larger than 3x2x4 inches and weighing no more than 8 ounces, capable of 6-foot drop survivability and IP67 water resistance, with minimum 720p resolution, 120-degree field of view, and 12 hours of onboard storage. The Digital Evidence Management System must provide secure, FedRAMP moderate- or high-authorized cloud storage with AES-256 encryption, FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, and data centers exclusively within the contiguous United States. Systems must support real-time streaming, AI analytics, biometric integration, audit logging, and prohibition of data deletion. All data and intellectual property developed under this effort remain the property of DHS. Vendors must demonstrate robust cybersecurity infrastructure, including a 24/7/365 Security Operations Center and Cybersecurity Incident Response Team located in CONUS, and must comply with NIST SP 800-53, DHS 4300A, and NSA Type 1/2 encryption standards. Participation requires an Associate Contractor Agreement for any subcontractor involvement, with full liability retained by the primary vendor. Personnel requiring system access must hold DHS Public Trust clearance, and equipment design must accommodate users ranging from the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male.
